Again unreachable. At this point, my experience shows that whonix’s
onion services are less reliable to reaching than debian’s apt repo
ones.

How come kicksecure’s onion repos “never” seems to go down/become unreachable?

Tools to diagnose this issue do are non-existing. → Forum.onion unable to connect - #25 by Patrick

Server configuration and output of onionprobe is almost identical, except for the places where it necessarily needs to be different. (descriptor, domain name)

Kicksecure:

onionprobe -e w5j6stm77zs6652pgsij4awcjeel3eco7kvipheu6mtr623eyyehj4yd.onion

Whonix:

onionprobe -e dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion

What makes a relevant difference is the state of the Tor user’s local Tor daemon.

I have reproduced multiple times that an unreachable onion becomes reachable after restarting Tor. Similar reports can be found online:

When a Tor restart is required and fixes anything, that can (almost) always be considered a bug in Tor as Tor should be able to recover from this without restart.

I would say “try onionprobe”.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install onionprobe

But the problem is, it’s not compatible with Whonix because onionprobe - I assume by design to avoid above issue - starts a temporary (throwaway) Tor daemon - before probing an onion.

Hence, onionprobe isn’t suitable to be run from within Whonix and only from Debian, Kicksecure or similar. [1]

If running onionprobe from Debian, Kicksecure or similar is fine for anyone, try it.

[1] onionprobe supports --no-launch_tor but requires Tor control protocol access, writing an onion-grater profile might be possible, but it would be a lot work for a non-ideal result using onionprobe different than it’s designed to run by default.

Onions are reachable atm from my end.
